The totals show that in the two experiments substantially like amounts 

 of rowen or alfalfa and grain were fed. 



Table XXV. — Total Dry Matter consumed in Each Feed (Pounds). 



About 2 per cent, more dry matter in the form of rowen was fed than 

 in alfalfa, while the dry matter in the form of grain was about the same. 

 If the rowen was equal to the alfalfa, one would expect fully as good 

 results in milk yield and live weight.
